In one of the least expected announcements in recent memory, Valkyria Chronicles will be getting a PC release. Sega confirmed via Twitter that the PS3 SRPG is indeed being ported to PC, following a listing on European ratings site PEGI. No details have been given at this time, though the tweet indicated that more news was “coming soon.”
Hello hellooooo! Here’s hoping this brisk fall evening is treating you well, and you’re not smarting from not-insubstantial gambling losses like I am.

Valkyria Chronicles is an odd beast: a grim war story constructed with standard anime elements, all wrapped around an unusual twist on turn-based strategy and painted with every bright color in the palette. It’s not always an easy fit, and the plot has an annoying habit of telegraphing its punches. Yet there’s a respectable narrative at the core, backed by some solid direction and a charming cast. And if that doesn’t do it for you, the game is still some of the most fun you can have with tanks involved. Continue reading ‘Valkyria Chronicles – Staff Review’ »
Coming courtesy of SEGA America’s blog, the upcoming DLC for Valkyria Chronicles has just been given a release date. Titled The Challenges of the Edy Detachment, the fourth DLC installment is scheduled for a February 25 launch. Not being just a clever name, the content includes six missions set by members of the Edy Detachment; each is based around learning the finer points of sniping, shocktroopering, and other things that don’t properly end with -ing but involve a whole lot of things being blown up.
Apart from members of said detachment, players will be able to use prior Squad 7 characters in the missions..
With a sequel already in development, Valkyria Chronicles still has more content up its proverbial sleeves. Sega recently announced that it intends to launch downloadable content for the strategy RPG in the form of new missions. Entitled Challenges from Team Edy, this content will be available in winter of 2009.
No price has been set for the DLC.

Over in Japan, the latest issue of Famitsu has seen Sega announcing Phantasy Star Zero Mini for DSiWare, a game in which players will take on a creature named Raven. Like Phantasy Star Zero for the DS, Mini will allow for four player wireless play and a drawing-based chat. It will be downloadable for 200 DSi Points.
